Everything close by, little space

Three of the five pillars of the Vertobuurt sit close together around a 3.6 — rarely seen: safety, wealth and quiet all sink at the same pace here. Within safety, violence is the driver — recorded more than one and a half times as often as nationally — with burglary twice as often beside it. So this is not the profile of a neighbourhood where only belongings disappear.

The wealth & income pillar sinks for another reason: the social assistance rate lies at more than five times the national median, while vacancy sits exactly on it and property value does the rest. And still the neighbourhood reaches an 8.1 for families. That figure is almost entirely distance — school, supermarket and GP are all within seven hundred metres — plus a share of households with children above the national middle. The railway station at almost twelve kilometres shows how unevenly that accessibility is spread.

Frequently asked questions

Is Vertobuurt a safe neighbourhood?

For 2025, Vertobuurt comes out at 30 recorded crimes per 1,000 people present; the national middle is 24. That is more than in most Dutch neighbourhoods. One caveat: the figure counts per person present, not per resident. In a neighbourhood with many visitors — a centre, a station, a shopping area — it therefore comes out higher than residents experience. The figure is about what the police record, not about the people who live there.

How much crime is there in Vertobuurt?

In Vertobuurt the police recorded 119 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (30 per 1,000) is not simply that count divided by the number of residents: we count residents plus workplaces, so a shopping street or station is not unfairly penalised, and for small counts we pull the figure towards the national average — otherwise a single incident would make a small neighbourhood look unsafe.

How is the grade for Vertobuurt calculated?

Vertobuurt scores 4.1 as its total score. That grade is a national position: we weigh five equally heavy scores — safety, amenities, wealth & income, quiet & nature and families — and see where Vertobuurt lands among every neighbourhood in the Netherlands. So it is not the mean of the five grades, but a place in the queue. All from open data published by CBS and the police.
